REALISM nv FICTION.
The Art of Interesting People I'm the Csaa.
nun Things Of Everyday Life.

1t requires q great deal more imagi.
nation to write Il realistic novel than
to write a fairy-tale; because the OBJ
ject of "a realistic story is not to repeat
common things, but 10 interest people
IN common things; NOT to create un-
common things but to show people
that common things are not by any
means so embarrassing rs they seem
at first sight. The realistic writer must
see, not new things, but new qualities
in things; and to do tha&, he must
have plenty of imagination. Those
whom yof call e'old-fashionedw writer's"
imagined that they must describe the
thoughts and looks and clothes and ac-
tions of n Princess, Or some creature
out of the range of everyday life; but
the realistic writers have discovered
that the thoughts and clothes and looks
and actions of little beggar-girl can
be made just as interesting to people,
If only you can see what is unseen
about them with your minds eve.
Now, which would you say had really
the nobler imagination-a man who
wer.t into his library and wrote a re-
nnarkable poem about the golden APP
piles of the Hesperides, that were pure
'creations of his fancy, or Sir Isaac
Newton when he went and sat down
under common appletree. and set his
1maginaSion to work 10 find out
what made the apple fall to the ground?
The realistic writer is satisfied with the
everyday apple tree-that is quite cer-
tsin; but here Is your mistake anout
him, he isn't satisfied with telling YOU
fhat the apples fell; he shows you how
they fell, and what a great, beautiful,
wonderful law of the universe caused
theRi to fall; and he makes you feel
that the law was all the more beautiful
and sonder9ul for not applying merely
TO Olle particular apple, or even TO the
whole class of apple trees, but to every
thing.

ton to o report that q cargo of English
Australian rabbits is at lea, bound for the

that it would be better to have pleuro-pneu-

these rabbits.

For Good Purposes.

Mrs. NJ. A. Dauphin, of Philadelphia, is
well known to the ladies of that city from
the great good she has done by means of
Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
She writes Mrs. Pinkham of recent in
teresting case. "a young married lady
came to me suffering with a severe case of
Prolapsus and liberation. She commenced
taking the Compound and in two months
was fully restored. In proof Of this she soon
found herself in an interesting condition.
Influenced by foolish friends she attempted
to evade the responsibilities of maternity
Afser ten or twelve days she came to me
again and she was indeed in a most alarm
ing state and suffered terribly. l gave her
a tablespoonful of the compound every
hour for eight hours until she fell asleep,
she awol1e much relieved and evidently
better. She continued taking the Com
pound, and in due season she became the
mother of a fine healthy boy. But for the
timely use of the medicine she believes her
life would have. been lost"

Some farmers and dairymen reason that
when the price of butter is low it does not
pay to feed well. Leaving plows to rust
out IN the last furrow, or implements to rot
in the field, is not more ruinous than half
starving cows, under the preteXt that dairy
products do not bring high prices. If there
is any time when dairy cows should have
good care and good feed, it is when butter
